Welcome to my Saturday 😰
Day 4 of suffering from Covid 19.
I didn't sleep very well at all!
Coughing, nose running, burning sore throat.
Up at 3.30am wanting a brew!
Finally got back to sleep.
I listened to "The Sound of the 60's" in bed.
UK Top 3 from 1963
3:
Joe Brown - That's What Love Can Do.

The Shadows -Foot Tapper

Cliff Richard & The Shadows - Summer Holiday.
I had breakfast and brew with a well covered up hubby. No sloppy wet kiss or warm hug yet!
I went back to bed while hubby dropped one son at work and went to the Co-op. My letters to my Prison Pen Pals couldn't be posted as the Post Office was shut today.
(Try on Monday now)
When he came back, he treated me to crumpets with coffee!
Now it was time to rise after those nice crumpets and coffee!
Thermal vest went on.
Time for Vitamin D time in the garden.
We tired some of the garden, and enjoyed sitting in the front garden enjoying the sun's rays!
On went the soup maker.
Late lunch.
Soon afterwards I fell asleep!
Hubby picked up son from his workplace.
Plus got some rubble bags to take the garden waste to the tip tomorrow.
I got on with writing my blog entry from yesterday.
I had the result from my PCR I took.
POSTIVE!
Everyone else's were negative!
At least I haven't lost my taste or smell.
Totally enjoyed my tea...
Yum Yum!
Afterwards we had one more episode of the second season of "FAME" to watch.
Next two episodes of:
Royal Mansour, Morocco↓
Fogo Island Inn, Canada↓

Quick look in the newspaper afterwards:
Bernard "Bernie" Dwyer was
an English Drummer most famous for his work with the 60s Manchester beat
group Freddie and the Dreamers.He was the first Drummer for Freddie and the Dreamers when they first
formed in 1963. Since he couldn't do The Freddie (A Dance move made by
The Dreamers) during performances due to him being sat down, Dwyer would
bob his head left to right. He remained in the band until 1971.
He sadly died aged 62 in 2002
The Beatles release "Beatles For Sale", their fourth studio album in 1964.
We carried on the four programmes on Live And Death Row. The Mass Execution consists of four 60 or 75 minute episodes looking at the 8 inmates on Arkansas death row who's executions were pushed forward due to the expiration date on the Midazolam used in these executions.
The we watched Series 1 of Life and Death Row.
Episode 1, Execution:
With unprecedented access inside prison walls, it discovers what it's
like to live with the threat of the death chamber, as well as hearing
from victims and their families and the family of those on death row -
some praying for execution, some hoping for a reprieve. Each episode
focuses on a key aspect of the system - execution, trial and appeal.
For two of the youngest men on death row
in Texas, execution day has arrived. Victim Nikki Daniels reflects on
her kidnapping ordeal by murderer Richard Cobb and battles with her
conflicting desires to forgive him, while the mother of death row inmate
Anthony Haynes fights to use the final 72 hours to halt her son's
execution for the murder of a police officer.
Episode 2:Judgement.
This film follows the trial of 26-year-old Guy Heinze Jr, with
remarkable access to the jury members charged with reaching a verdict on
allegations that Heinze beat his father and seven members of his family
to death. As the trial progresses, there is legal manoeuvring while
evidence about the brutal killings unfolds.
